Little Fyodor (said, "fee-ay-dor") has been spreading his avant-pop madness throughout the world musical underground for TWENTY YEARS now through recordings and live performance, releasing cassettes, vinyl and CD's as a do-it-yourselfer, until recently when Discriminate Audio released BOYD RICE PRESENTS THE VERY BEST OF LITTLE FYODOR'S GREATEST HITS, a collection of Boyd's favorites among Little Fyodor's repertoie of twisted, satirical songs which, beneath a crass and maniacal outer shell, express a deep fraternal empathy with those who most acutely experience the frustrations and alienation of modern life's Insect existence. Available at Discriminate Audio's own website (PayPal), as well as Unpop Art (credit card) and even Amazon.com. In performance, Fyodor is joined by his lovely assistant Babushka, who has lent her support in an act of mercy reflective of her Olde World upbringing, plus a powerhouse rhythm section of dispassionate pros, forming a tight & tasty punk rock performance juggernaut, emoting their sad and angry repertoire with a theatrical, daresay Vaudevillian flair, and RAWKING OUT all the same. Little Fyodor's old releases, including work with his old band, Walls Of Genius (called "funnier than hell weirdos" according to the book, Unknown Legends of Rock 'N' Roll!) are still available as well in one form or another.

Don't worry, this is not a link to the complex virus I coded which turns all of your files into provocative .jpegs of Sarah Palin nude from the neck up-that picture I'll just show you:
hey so I'm gonna send a cd and i'm super excited about it, but I want to be able to record some of my better songs, that's what the delay is about. Anyways, your music is fucking awesome too, I love the lyrics and the emotion. I'm psychotic sometimes too, I think trashcans are people :). Hope you're doing well.
